Description
These fluffy and flavorful pancakes combine zesty lemon and crunchy poppy seeds, perfect for a cheerful breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs (or applesauce/flaxseed mixture for egg-free)
- 1 cup milk (or buttermilk/dairy-free alternative)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients for a smooth cooking experience.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and poppy seeds.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the milk and lemon zest until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; the batter should be lumpy.
- Let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries or maple syrup.
Notes
Adjust the cooking heat if pancakes are browning too quickly, and keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if making a large batch.
